Hmmmm a boast....well I admitted to myself just now that I have not got too much to boast about. Can that be a boast itself? :p
Congratulations, that's just amazing! :banana:Quote:

there's nothing to boast, really, but I'm glad I'm done with them.
Linguistics (today) was ****e. You can pick from 11 different topics and it's recommended to prepare one special topic plus this one thingy where you have to know bits from all areas and apply them to a text. I'd focused on syntax and studied loads and loads and kept the text thingy as a back-up.
as it turned out, the syntax question was a single essay question instead of 5 or 6 analyses. I could have written lots about this questions, only not from the angle that the examiner had in mind. so I did the text thing instead but was only able to answer 5 out of 7 questions because I had no idea about the other two topics :( :( so I'll probably get a C :( I could have gotten an A if the syntax question hadn't been an essay :( :( :(
but translation and essay writing went fine :)
let's hope Geography (Friday next week and the Monday after that) will be better as a compensation. (slim chance of that, but one can hope).
I have a Geometry class that's like 3 years above my grade level and in my Pre-Alg. year, I failed the section on Geometry. I was sooooo worried about this year, but I have made A's on all od my tests and never below a B on any hoework. Yay me!
My grand achievement today? I did not call anyone a douche bag. Well except for Ming and Flash Gordon. But I mean real people.
This is my 1,000th post! Yay:)
Yay!! Congrats. :DQuote:

Poetess, I think it's North of England (probably very far up north, near Scotland). You can tell by the way they pronounce their o's and say "Our John". - better ask a native speaker, thoughQuote:

It's Northern Ireland - a difficult accent for a non-native to produce, easy to mimic but difficult to get just right, Catherine Tate makes not a bad job of it.Quote:
